Meet Your Redwoods Elopement Photographer
Hello hello, I'm Gabbi!
Your elopement day is about SO more than just photos - It's about your experience. If you focus on your experience, the great photos will come.
The state of Oregon is so special that I moved across the country just to call this incredible place home. From towering trees, to stunning coastlines, alpine lakes, and snow capped mountains, I can't wait to share this place with you.
About Me
Eloping is for the bold & untraditional.
Let’s be honest - PNW elopements aren't exactly traditional.
Your relationship is one of a kind - your elopement should be as well.
You can spend the day exploring moody remote beaches, wandering through moss covered old growth forests, or spend the paddling crystal clear calm rivers.
How do you want to feel and what memories do you want to remember when you look back on your day?
As your Redwoods adventure elopement photographer, I’m here to provide you with the knowledge, expertise, and support you need to have the day you deserve.

"From the moment I reached out to Gabbi, I knew I had found someone truly special. She is so much more than an elopement photographer — she’s a planner, a guide, a calming presence, and above all, a genuine soul who truly cares.
Gabbi didn’t just show up with a camera — she was with me every step of the way. She helped plan the timeline, offered thoughtful location ideas, and met with me multiple times to make sure I felt completely prepared. Her attention to detail and dedication to a smooth, stress-free experience made all the difference.
What stood out most was how she made me feel. From the start, Gabbi treated me like a close friend rather than just another client. Her warmth, kindness, and passion are undeniable, and it shows in every photo she captures.
Gabbi has a rare gift — she doesn’t just capture moments, she tells a story. Looking at our photos brings every emotion rushing back. I can’t thank her enough for the memories we’ll cherish forever.
If you’re looking for someone who is talented, creative, compassionate, and truly amazing at what they do — Gabbi is your person. I feel so lucky to have had her by my side. 💛"

THESE PHOTOS AND MEMORIES!!
“Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so memorable and so perfect. Looking back at these photos, reliving our entire trip and this perfect day… it’s an experience that was so perfect for us and it was truly the best day.
The talent that you have as a photographer but as a human, making us feel so comfortable and always keeping the vibes high. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the area and of course knowledge of the redwoods— my science/environmental brain was so happy.
Mick and I can’t express enough how grateful we are for all the work and effort you put into making these days so special for all of your clients. We left truly feeling like we gained a friend. And once again… these photos?!?!?? Insane!
I will never stop recommending you and this experience. We love you and everything you are doing for people."

"Gabbi was beyond incredible from start to finish!! She asked questions, listened, and helped to capture exactly what we wanted out of our elopement day. She helped guide us on locations, timing, permits, requirements, local spots, and everything else we could have needed for our perfect wedding/elopement day! She captured us and the beautiful Redwoods and Oregon coast backdrops better than we could have ever hoped for. I truly cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Gabbi for everything, you were so wonderful!!!"
